Abstract
The ability to hot work RE-Fe-B type compositions to form anisotropic magnets containing Nd.sub.2 Fe.sub.14 B.sub.1 -type crystal grains is improved by the addition of suitable, small amounts of one or more of cerium, lanthanum or yttrium. The improvement in hot working is seen in the reduction of cracks in the deformed body and in the ability to reduce the hot working temperature without a significant penalty in magnetic properties.
